Unreal Engine Abandoned LifePlay [v2023.04 Stable] [Vinfamy]

You know for being a Unreal 4 project why does the characters look like last gen models.

Because, sometimes, ultra-realistic graphics aren't the point of the game. Also, when you're an indie developer with limited experience, time, money and or resources, there may come a point where sacrifices have to be made - for the sake of the project and your own health/sanity. LifePlay is an indie, sandbox + sim + porn game being made by a single guy that barely gets f* all for all his work. How is someone supposed to make a masterpiece with only 200$ a month?

This game gets frequent and consistent updates and it just keeps getting better over time, despite all limitations. If only we could say the same about every patreon project out there...

Any word on NPC (family/group/batch) creation?

So not only did he lose his Legends, his lost his marbles too?

New small mod: Weight & Fitness

If you eat it will make you gain weight (altering your appearance)
Do sport and you'll loose weight (altering your appearance)
This works also with every companion.

At home you have a new action to check your weight. At the moment the values can differ a bit from the appearance, because the weight slider will grow in steps.

It changes only the heavy slider for male & females at the moment.
Weight gain factor at the moment is 0.3 per meal, and weight loss factor 0.25 for every time you do sports.
This means you have to do 15 times sport or eat sth to see a visible difference.

Compatible to all my other mods!



MY OTHER MODS:
PIMP YOUR GIRL BEAUTY EXPANSION BETTER PREGNANCY PARTY & NIGHTLIFE
THE NEW GOODBYE NO MORE YOUTUBE WEIGHT & FITNESS

Cute girl, but

I can't fap to that!

Looks pretty bad from the back. Why in hell do facial morphs affect vaginal vertices in the first place? Is it a problem with the base model, or did someone screw up the skinning?

I'm very much aware of the problem, it's just extremely hard to solve. I've already tried like 10 different approaches, none of them work. I pretty much have done enough to rule out any solution that can be done inside Unreal Engine, it's something that will need to be solved in Maya / 3ds max - and I'm not knowledgeable enough about 3d modeling (again, coder by trade here) to a. find out the verticles affected, b. fix them without altering vertex order / screwing up all the morphs
It's the problem with the 'Golden Palace' pussy (the base Daz models don't have detailed vagina), which is the most popular pussy for Genesis 8 so it's not like I went for an amateur's asset here. The author of GP just happened to screw up on this.
For the time being, unfortunately, it's up to the player to go easy on the morphs / trial and error to avoid the deformation

Yeah, I have noticed this issue but I figured that it is a difficult problem to solve so it is totally understandable. Speaking of the 3D modeling, I will bet you that there are more 3d modelers than programmers here so anyone who would like to help with that could volunteer. I would but alas I am not a 3D modeler.

For every X number of new players, there is someone among them who is skilled in modeling, programming, or others who could help out with the project. Only the time will tell.

hello, try using wine, with other games it works well

How make LifePlay.sh executable:
In terminal:
1) Open a terminal window
2) cd to LifePlay directory (e.g. cd ~/Downloads/LifePlay_2_14_Linux/)
3) chmod +x LifePlay.sh
4) Run LifePlay.sh
(Fresh/"Casual" Linux users: Linux is case sensitive. make sure you type LifePlay.sh, and not lifeplay.sh)

On KDE Plasma with Dolphin file manager:
1) Right click LifePlay.sh
2) Click Properties
3) Click Permissions
4) Check the checkbox for "Is Executable"
5) Click OK, then run LifePlay.sh
It should be very similar in other DE's (Gnome, Xfce, Budgie++)

- Allow the player to input custom tags for anyone in their Contacts, then filter down to these contacts easily by searching for the tag

Yessss, order in the chaos!

Wish I could play this masterpiece but unfortunately I can't run it due to serious lag seeing as how I have a potato laptop.

As an ex-potato laptop user I emphasise with you.

Assuming you can get through character creation try using a smaller map - the default London map is very large and adds a lot to lag. I've taken to using the Monaco map which is close to 20 times smaller than London in file size and is way more snappy. You will need to check the 'Randomize Unknown Buildings' box when selecting the map (personally I've been using 10/5/50/35 % in the order that they are listed).

Another tip is to close all other appllications before launching.

Where do you find the actions for all these mods like better pregnancy, etc? I can't find the things supposed to be there. I have it in but everything is the same. Can't find ANY of it. Have it enabled in mod manager. No pregnancy test anywhere, went to doctor, nothing. Pharmacy, supermarket and convenience store nothing. No choice for any actions mentioned. Going to beauty salon with beauty expansion is also absolutely no different from unmodded game. Is there a hidden place for the ones for newer versions?

Now the question is, did you take the

hi,thank you for helping me!
here some screenshot

This is a known issue. When making a character and adjusting a lot of morph's problems begin happening with the region of the characters genitals. One of the telltale signs is the black 'hair' just above the arse that can be seen in your second screenshot. In my experience once the problem arises it cannot be reverted.

Try remaking your character starting with the changes you most want and saving progressively after each change or two. Keep going until problems begin to arise and then go back to a save from before the problems. (Early signs are the 'hair' starting to emerge and/or the genitals moving slightly outwards and downwards, perhaps leaving a marked seam.)

Edit: apologies for posting before getting to the end of the thread, Vinfamy's previous comment is much more astute and informed than I will ever be. I do note, however, that the issue can also arise with the male models.

Unless this is it, no.



Though on my next playthrough it could be an interesting twist.

I wanted to ask a question. Sometimes I see people post a picture of their game and it has a cartoon appearance. I was wondering what do they use to make that possible? I think that is quite cool and I'm fascinated to try it out.

Hahaha! On the Honolulu map I was playing, I took for my character's residence the Hawaii's Governor's official residence called

Esc -> Settings -> Tick 'Toon Shading'

(Additionally the 'Toon Shade Depth' setting has a somewhat smaller effect.)
